I've not had such problems with a less capable system. Mine is a PII/266 with 128 MB, Win ME. You did not mention your graphics card and sound card -- which may well have bigger impact than processor speed. My video was upgraded once to a Voodoo 3 and I've got the original sound Yamaha sound card. Both of these seem to fit with Directx 8.0 though.

You said that you tried working with the video settings -- that does sound like a good area to focus on. Have you looked at hardware vs software acceleration for 3D effects?
